Methods and systems for patient positioning in an imaging system are provided. A palette for an imaging system is provided that includes a base portion movably connected to the imaging system and an extender portion removably connected to the base portion. The extender portion together with the base portion supports an object to be imaged by the imaging system.

Methods and systems for patient positioning in an imaging system

Methods and systems for a patient table having a longitudinal axis for a medical imaging system are provided. The patient table includes a body including a first end, an axially-spaced second end, and a first and a second axially oriented side edges extending therebetween, the body further including at least one of an aperture extending through the body and a notch extending from at least one of the first and second axially oriented side edges, and a base configured to couple to the body using at least one of the first end and the second end.

Methods and systems for reducing radiation attenuation in imaging systems

Methods and systems for medical imaging using an ergonomic patient head an arm support are provided. A support for medical imaging is provided that includes a lower body configured to engage a portion of a medical imaging system and an upper surface having a plurality of depressions configured to receive therein at least one of a head and arm of a patient.

Methods and apparatus for ergonomic arm and head support

Methods and systems for medical imaging are provided. The system includes a gantry assembly having a stator, a first rotor rotatably coupled to the stator, the first rotor configured to rotate about an examination axis at a first rotational speed, and a second rotor rotatably coupled to at least one of the stator and the first rotor, the second rotor configured to rotate about the examination axis at the first and a second rotational speed, the second rotational speed being greater than the first rotational speed, the first and second rotors configured to be locked in position with respect to each other during rotation at the first rotational speed, the first rotor configured to be locked in position with respect to the stator during rotation of the second rotor at the second rotational speed.
